E Brake activates a brake pad on the rear axle (not the normal brakes if I recall correctly), so it was a scorching of brake pads that you heard. Don't worry about it. If they still work fine, it's OK.

Drum brakes usually have a small and a large shoe, the small shoe is the E brake. On disc, sometimes a second hidden set of pads holds it(more inboard), or the main pads.
